102 “The Lord heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.”
Deuteronomy 26:7
The Lord is not slow to see and hear the voice of our affliction and the pains we suffer in this life. Life can be very testing, and we can often find ourselves alone and in emotional pain. The Lord sees our need and will provide a way of escape. We must bring all our cares to the Lord and lean on His everlasting arms.
“My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19
God is not slow concerning His promises and will rescue us even from the pains in our mind. God will overrule and give us peace as we walk in His ways and look to Him in our troubles. Just as the Lord heard the voice of His people in slavery in Egypt, so the Lord hears us when we cry to Him. He sees and He understands and will deliver us. This is the promise to the people of God, but those who refuse Him are left to sort out their own problems which often we cannot do. The world can be so oppressive, and the Christian pathway seems so dark and narrow, yet our loving God is always there even when we are unable to feel His presence or see His hand at work. We trust in Him and this is what pleases the Lord. As we cope with trials and troubles, so our faith grows and we are better able to stand against the tide of pains and pressures.
Our God will never leave us to cope alone so let us trust fully in Him and please Him by casting all our cares upon Him.
